PTCB Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Prep

The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board uses this test, which is actually called the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE) as one of the four requirements for certification as a pharmacy technician. The test was designed as a result of a job analysis study conducted by the PTCB that determined the knowledge and skills needed to work as a pharmacy technician. It consists of 90 multiple-choice questions with four answer choices. Ten of the questions are not scored, but you will not know which ones as you take the test.
The PTCB Exam poses questions about nine “knowledge domains” in the area of pharmacy. Here is a list of them and the approximate percentage of questions on the actual test that deal with each. You will notice that we have a corresponding section of practice questions and flashcards, as well as a study guide on each of these sections to help you prepare.
• Pharmacology for Technicians: 13.75%
• Pharmacy Law and Regulations: 12.50%
• Sterile and Non-sterile Compounding: 8.75%
• Medication Safety: 12.50%
• Pharmacy Quality Assurance: 7.50%
• Medication Order Entry and Fill Process: 17.50%
• Pharmacy Inventory Management: 8.75%
• Pharmacy Billing and Reimbursement: 8.75%
• Pharmacy Information Systems Usage and Application: 10.00%

Whether you are headed down the path to become a licensed pharmacist or desire to work as a pharmacy technician, passing this test is one of the first steps. There is a lot to know and our free practice test for the PTCB Exam will help you find out where you need to work more and make the most of your study time.

Great! Combined with other training and the Mosby's review book. Nice for on-the-go or just studying for a few minutes. I like that you see why other answers are incorrect. Based on my experience with other licensing & certification exams, they are really trying to see that we know why the correct answer IS correct. Computer adaptive tests like to fire another similar question at you if you get one wrong or give another similar question to make sure that we know that subject area.

Im getting ready to take my ptce and this app has been SO helpful. I can study anywhere and dont have to have an internet connection. I like how it gives an explination with each question and how it breaks everything into categories so you can pinpoint your weak points. Great app. Highly reccomend

So far a helpful study aid. The ads aren't disruptive per se; for a free app you have to expect some ads and they come in between sections in my experience not between questions.

Easy to use with concise explanations. Repetition of wrong answers helps you learn.

So far ive only done the first section of the learning part of the app but it's been perfect, just what I was looking for to help me study to take the test, definitely recommend!

I haven't completed my studies, but so far this app has been great! I got the pro membership and I personally feel like it is preparing me for the PTCE in a positive way. It's very easy to use and is totally worth the membership.

Great way to study when you don't want to. I wish I had one for Canada that was this good. Some sections are more helpful than others because the answer is the same regardless of the country you are in.

Very helpful and easy to use. I do wish they switched the questions up more but still a really good app.

Thanks for your help and support Your questions with the explanations are very excellent tool to measure how you absorb the information and prepare you very well for the real exam And I recommend it to other people 😜 for excellent understanding the concepts of pharmacy license and practice in real life . The application is so nice and flexible time you can do 10 to 40 question every level with 4 explanations on each mcq The calculation cases explanations are very excellent all in one place

HELPFUl I love how they separate each section into different parts so when you study you're not overwhelmed by the amount of questions. My way of studying is a study from my book I'd take the test on the app and I write down what I got wrong and as soon as my incorrect answers go below 6 or 8 I take the practice areas and helps a lot

Bri. B. Dec 2, 2020     

Scheduled my test for the 24th of February I paid for the pro option. I'm excited to invest in myself. I know what to study harder with the practice tests. This app is a great help so far!

This app was fabulous to have while studying. Only problem is I can't figure out how to end my membership now that I took my test.

A. G. u. Jan 16, 2020     

This is a great app for preparing for the PTCB exam. It covers everything! Also, I haven't had any technical issues using it. It works just exactly as it's supposed to.

Must have resource for todays pharmacy tech studying for the PTCB. Provides clear understanding of the concepts, instant feedback and tracks your progress. I am feeling more and more confident with the unlocking of each section. I unlocked the app by paying for it so I cannot comment on innapropiate use of adverts.

I like every thing about this application, it includes different aspects regarding ptcp, i like the way they explain each answer even if it was correct, it makes studying looks simple and clear, thank you!

Lau. J. May 18, 2020     

best suits my study methods. it reminds me of flashcards, where you repeat the topics until you know them and then gives an explanation.

Kev. S. R. Nov 17, 2021     

Downloaded a few of these PTCB/E apps in order to help prepare me for the exam. This one was the only one that was free and provided numerous questions on various Pharmacy topics. This app aided me and helped me pass my exam today. *hint*hint* a good number of questions asked in this app may return.

Joe. G. Apr 29, 2021     

Simple, clean and straightforward. It is a perfect tool for those who have passed and want to review the whole course quick.

A. G. u. Apr 19, 2020     

Very comprehensive content that is very helpful for studying, and unlike the other "free" PTCB certification study apps you can access the app's full content without getting a subscription!

jem. Jun 11, 2020     

Good for studying and keeping track of whats learned and what needs work. I like the test offered and the explainations at the end of a response if incorrect. Id like for there to be a pharm med list to study perhaps for an update?

A. G. u. Mar 13, 2020     

This great best use to help me study. just wish they have some math portions but all and all its great tool to have!

A. G. u. Jan 27, 2020     

I'm grateful for every aspect of this minus the math part the explanations are in a weird code that does not make any sense. I hope this can get fixed soon.

Yve. B. Jan 26, 2021     

It's a fantastic app I studied from books as well as the PTCE app which has a world of informations take it from me because you have nothing to lose but everything you need to ace the exam.

Adr. G. Dec 1, 2020     

Love this app. Very easy to use. Don’t need any additional help or book to study for the exam, this app teaches everything you need to know. I just want to know if this same app has an OIS version?
